I'm interviewing for a human capital management internship in New York. I was asked many behavioral questions, and I think I did pretty well on those.

It was a pretty chill interview, mostly asking questions about my past experiences and how I handle different situations. It was a pleasant interaction with a nice team, and thankfully, they didn't get too deep into the technical stuff.

It was a very friendly, warm atmosphere. We talked during an open house. There wasn't a real interview process, just needed a cover letter to see if you'd be a good fit. Lots of internship opportunities to leverage.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I had a phone interview with three people who were all on speakerphone. One person I could barely hear. There were supposed to be four interviewers, but one person didn't show up. I felt pretty strongly that one of the interviewers already had an internal candidate in mind, so the interview felt like it was just going through the motions. The three interviewers were surprised when I asked three real questions about how key tasks were accomplished and the role of the advisory committee.
